I know of a place in Oklahoma that comes very highly recommended for bowhunting hogs but is also open to gun hunts. It's called Shiloh Ranch. There is also a place in Texas called Cinco Ranch where Rob Kiebler operates Fair Chase Ltd. That place is covered in javis but has hogs as well. These are hunts very commonly reviewed on Bowsite and come highly recommended. There might be other options for a pure gun hunt but I know these guys offer excellent bowhunting opportunities.

Way to go man! That is a gorgeous ram!

All very nice! Really like that standing full body mexicana ram with the orange horns! Spectacular!

Hi Ernesto, If there is anything I can do for you to help you with your condition let me know. I'm in Yuma. I pray that the Holy Spirit touches you with His healing hand!

You've had one heck of a season Rob! That is an awesome deer right there! Great Job!

I use a Kifaru Late Season with a Grab It most of the time. If it might get serious the Duplex Frame with Cargo Panel comes out. I think of hunting packs more for how much meat they can carry out than what little nic naks it can carry in. I can and usually do carry my bow in my hands very easily. My bow is only on my pack when it's really rough and I need all four hands for the most part, or hiking in or out in the dark. That being said I like the big bag with versatility via stuff sacks etc. versus a more divided and compartmentalized pack. Kifaru has one of if not the best suspension of any pack and their durability and customer service are top notch. Being Made in the USA put them over the top for me. Buy once, cry once...kinda like binos!

WOW! Nice bull right there! Many congratulations!

I have a 1960 Bear Kodiak that is by far my favorite bow. This is pretty much the same as the 59 model reproduction that is out again from Bear. Shooting a recurve just has that special feeling that is hard to explain. Don't get me wrong I'm not a died in the wool traditional guy or anything, but this bow is what put Bear on the map for good!

There seems to be quite a few on and near the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Only place I have seen them for sure. Still haven't heard a legitimate reason why they won't allow any kind of hunting for them. Maybe if we start putting some pressure on the Department they can help put some pressure on the Refuge to let us "manage" them?

As long as you are hunting on the "Island" at the refuge or anywhere else east of the old river channel you will be in AZ and the usual stamps is all you need. They used to have an organized hunt where you draw blinds and such and hunt over alfalfa or bermuda grass fields out of pre dug pit blinds. Pretty sure that is still going on at Farm Unit 2.

Chip off the old block for sure! Congrats to you and the young man!

I replace my string when it frays excessively at the served areas. I also immediately replace my string if a bow does not come with a high quality string to start with. It takes a long time to wear out these newer materials but if they start to creep or stretch, it's time to get a replacement. Creep is easily noticed when your peep continues to rotate after shooting about 100 shots or so. I high quality string in good condition should not creep, rotate or stretch. If you are experiencing any of these issues it might be time to take a look at your string. Good Luck!

Colorado River @ Cibola National Wildlife Refuge is no big secret but gets a regular dose of geese every year, light and dark ones. If you really want to wack some snows go to Imperial Valley/Salton Sea area of California. Good Luck!

Way to go guys! Congratulations to the hunter and good on you guys for making that old timer's dreams come true!

Hey Bowsniper, Do you have a specific question you need an answer to, or were you looking for membership info? Yuma Valley Rod and Gun Club PO Box 6500 Yuma AZ 85366 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yuma-Valley-Rod-and-Gun-Club/108065069243309 If you need the Club's President or another Officer I can get you in touch. Shoot me a PM if you don't want to discuss here. Good Luck!

Just about time to rekindle my "love/hate relationship" with the pesky collared peccary! As a side note, I found some javelina tracks in an area where I certainly did not expect to see them. Let's just say the javis have moved quite a ways west.

Kuiu Attack pants are my most comfortable and well designed pants, but my Cabela's Microtex pants are still my go to pants for hunting. They are extremely durable, quiet, quick drying and versatile for many conditions. I still want to try the First Lite Kanab wool pants.

If I was the hunter I would find it odd and a bit perturbing if someone posted my picture on a hunting site first. It's a matter of courtesy mostly but you make some good points. If someone else feels like posting it up here, knock yourselves out, but it won't be me.

Earlier in the month further east and north, later in the month further west and south. These are of course generalities and it depends on the given year and weather. Anytime you can get out there is a good time! Best of luck to you!

I hope you aren't kidding!

The buck I think you are talking about was killed by a Yuma native. Region 4 deer. No guides. I don't know the guy personally but we share a number of mutual friends. Deer of a lifetime for sure and further proof that you don't have to go to the Strip to kill an absolute monster. Out of respect for the hunter I won't post his name or pics but will confirm the rumors! I also don't know the score but from the pics counted at least 10 points on each side.

CZ 83 stainless .380

Would you consider any trades?

Lancetkenyon, do you mind if I send you a PM with some ?'s on setting up a turret cap?

Some of you either have very creative minds or recently ingested psychedelic drugs! LOL!
